Kentucky and Missouri. --The only good fighting men which the North can bring into the field, of the native race, are the hardy and adventurous men of the Northwestern States. It is only the soldiers drawn from this quarter, and those recruited from the foreign races, that have done any good fighting on their side in this war, or that give any promise of persisting in the fight. The best regiments under the command of McClellan on the Potomac are those which he drew from the Northwest. But the Northwestern people are infinitely more solicitous for the opening of the Mississippi to free navigation and for subduing the States lying towards its mouth under the same political jurisdiction with themselves, than they are to secure the valueless city of Washington, or the inconsiderable State of Maryland to the Union. Already have the notes of complaint been sounded in the Northwest against the withdrawal of their regiments into the unprofitable field of action on the Potomac,

tionary act; and the South may save the necessity of that by action of her own in strict conformity with her belligerent rights. The North are not stopping to enquire of the constitutionality of this or that of their measures. Their whole conduct and policy is usurpation; and it follows that many of their measures can only be met and counteracted by retaliation. The South have acted upon retaliatory principles repeatedly in the progress of this controversy. Her march into the territory of Kentucky was justified upon these principles. And where can a case be found more urgent for continuing this policy than in Kentucky and Missouri, where the enemy are preparing the most formidable of all their measures against us.? We sincerely trust that the Confederate Government will dismiss all qualms and scruples about the legality of inaugurating a vigorous and decided policy in the quarter in which the North is concentrating forces so great and preparing operations against us so f

It is only the soe with that young and giant community. In this point of view the condition of Kentucky and Missouri presents a topic of absorbing and vital interest to the Southern Confederacy. The South can nehe time has undoubtedly arrived when the South must assume the power to treat Kentucky and Southern Missouri as a part of her own territory. It had been better, and more consistent with the law-abidhe times would not permit the slow and formal processes usual to legal procedure. Kentucky and Missouri can no longer be respected as forbidden ground to the South. They are both essential parts of les.

Bradford (search for this): article 1
Arrival of Federal prisoners. --The announcement in the newspapers yesterday morning that a large number of Federal prisoners, captured in the battle of Leesburg, would arrive some time during the day, excited the curiosity of our inhabitants, and by nine o'clock a considerable crowd assembled at the Central depot with a determination to wait for the cars, no matter what time they came in. A guard of soldiers, under Lieut. Bradford, was stationed along the track of the railroad from Broad street to the engine house, and no one, save a few privileged characters, was suffered to pass the line. The number of spectators was constantly increased, until a dense mass of human beings, of all ages, sexes, and conditions in life, filled the adjacent streets and crowded the outside platforms, the freight cars, and every other eligible spot in the vicinity. --Shortly before half-past 10 o'clock the distant whistle announced the approach of the train, which soon made its appearance, and it

They were very well dressed, and many of them wore comfortable overcoats.--Some few had lost their hats, and some were bare footed, having pulled off their shoes to swim the Potomac during the panic, and were rescued from watery graves by our advanced forces. The juveniles among the crowd indulged in some derisive remarks, and a portion of the prisoners displayed considerable impudence. One fellow said that their turn would come by and by, and that Lincoln and Scott would both be in Richmond before a great while. Another remarked to a bystander that they had to hunt for the Southern soldiers to make them fight, and the bystander reckoned that they fought pretty well when they were found. The negro prisoner was an object of no little curiosity, and he seemed quite uneasy. He says his name is Lewis A. Bell, and that he was free in the District of Columbia; but some of our citizens thought they had seen him before, and it is very probable tha
